Benefits of Rubber Coating

• Durability: protects cast iron from oxidation and rust, +40% longer lifespan
• Aesthetics: professional and clean appearance

• You are looking for competition-calibrated discs (tolerance ±0.1%, these are ±2%)

• Caution: do not drop from heights greater than 50cm, it can damage the coating

1kg Disc Usage Guide

Contes 1kg discs are ideal for fine load adjustment in progressive training. Perfect for:

• Beginners: gradual strength building with small increments
• Rehabilitation: post-injury recovery with controlled loads
• Female training: optimal progression without excessive weight jumps
• Microloading: 2kg increments (pair of discs) to overcome plateaus
• Adjustable dumbbells: precise load balancing for right-left sides

Can be combined with heavier weight plates (2.5kg, 5kg, 10kg) to create the desired total load.
